46. Well, let me tell you a story.

Aug 2012

A guy I know was at a resort one time at a conference. They were in motel-type rooms. He had a "few" drinks and went to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night wanting a smoke and realized he was all out. He remembered that there were cigarettes in the car, so, forgetting he was stark naked, ran outside to get them -- also forgetting to take both his car keys and his room key (there WAS alcohol involved). He got outside, couldn't get into the car, and then couldn't get back into his room. So here he was still a little toasted, stark naked, outside in the parking lot -- and there were mosquitoes, lots of them.

He finally had to cover himself with branches and get someone in another room to call the front office.
